A man with a tall coiled black hair crown and a short beard stands with eyes closed, bare-shouldered, pressing a pink lotus bloom to his face while holding a gold-and-jewelled trident-like staff topped with a gold-embroidered flag bearing a pink animal motif. He wears layered garlands of white, pink, purple and yellow flowers, a gold-threaded wrap across the shoulders, rudraksha bracelets and a gold ring, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, blurred devotees in saffron-gold and purple saris stand in a stone hall, with a painted blue-and-yellow pillar and a gold kalasha-like finial. Swamiji (probable) appears here, identified by the crown, rudraksha, ornate shawl and garlands; this is a person in a ceremonial hall, not a depiction.2018-04-14 +1 copiesA man in a black turban wrapped with rudraksha beads stands with eyes closed, holding a pink lotus bloom to his chest while clasping a tall gold trident with a glittering star-shaped finial. He wears layered garlands of red roses, white jasmine, yellow flowers, purple blooms and pink lotus-bud strings, plus a gold-threaded arm band, rudraksha bracelets and a gold ring. Behind him are a banana plant and a man in a red-brown robe; another figure in white dhoti and gold-bordered cloth stands at the right edge.2018-04-14 +1 copiesClose photograph of a bearded man with a tall black hair turban strung with rudraksha beads, a red tilak on his forehead, and a gold-and-silver trident (trishul) held beside his face.

He wears a heavy garland of pink lotus blooms, white chrysanthemums, purple flowers and green foliage, with gold-and-silver wrapped armlets, a rudraksha bracelet and layered rudraksha malas. Marigold-yellow flower decorations blur in the background.
